*** Georgia at South Carolina: Poll & Game Thread

[scgamecock312]

The Tigers will have nothing to lose and Carolina would have everything to lose.

I hope so too. I see no reason why we cant score 60 on Clemson with the defense I've seen

I'm happy to see Connor Shaw finally getting some respect. I preached all summer until I was blue in the face that he's a good QB, but people seemingly ignored how he finished last season and only remembered his shaky performance when he first took the reigns from Garcia. It doesn't show this on the stat line but so many of his scrambles/designed runs end up being for first downs in key situations and unlike Garcia he just doesn't continually make critical mistakes late in games. His play action bombs force defenses to respect his arm while also trying to guess if he's gonna take off down field or hand off to Lattimore. UGA was off balance guessing all night and Shaw/Spurrier just toyed with them.

I was convinced by his performance this season. He's been solid and playing with some pain too, still doesn't keep him from taking off and running but he's got to learn to slide some too. good to know that that SC has a quality backup

Really? If we are good enough to be undefeated, you have little chance of even keeping the game close. I doubt the guys will be intimidated at all by Death Valley Jr. after winning in the real Death Valley.

Clemson had the name first for the record.

Hard to say, but SC could be caught looking ahead to the SECCG in that scenario. But, Clemson would have the pressure of not losing four straight. Also, Clemson may have a BCS spot on the line if they come in 10-1. There is a big dropoff from the Sugar Bowl to the Belk Bowl. Well, probably the Chik-Fil-A. I agree though, it would be something to see. Sorta like the 1981 game in reverse. Truthfully, I have been semi-impressed with the Tigers so far. They aren't making the mistakes on offense that they made last year.

Defense still a dumpster fire though.

That is being polite...

Nice moment from the halftime of the game:

That was awesome...except for the "gamecocks beating up on them Dawgs" part.

That's because defenses aren't defending them the right way, except FSU in the second half. If you can get pressure with your front 4, Tajh Boyd folds like a cheap paper tent. That's got me licking my chops.

Congrats on the victory Carolina. Y'all owned the day and clearly have a great team. Sorry for the delayed, congratulation.. I did not see but about 10 minutes of the game and have been to disgusted with Georgia to come to the boards.
